different crutch, i mean belief system.

I don't know what third-world country you're from, but I'm willing to be they have the concept of nuance there

Don't look down on third world, chobby hater. The idea of first world and third world is made up by rich countries to make themselves feel superior. There is a first world because there is third world. If there wasn't a third world, then there wouldn't be a first world. So, existent of first world depends on the existent to third world.

Here again you show just how stupid you really are.

The term was phrased along with "second world" and "third world". It was created during the cold war. First-world countries were those aligned with the US, such as the UK, the French, etc. (countries that are now referred to as "The West", mainly). Second world countries were those aligned with the Soviet Union. Third world countries were those aligned with neither.

It had nothing to do with money, moron. It had to do with what side of the Cold War you were on.

For the sake of this back-and-forth, I'll say "sure" to "If there wasn't a third world, then there wouldn't be a first world." That doesn't preclude most third world countries from being absolute shit.

UM...............you really are retarded.

Have you ever been to a third world country? Have you ever been out of your home state? If you spend more than 20 minutes in a 3rd world country you will know why there is a distinction. This isn't about semantics. This is just black and white. scratch that you will turn that into something racist and stupid even though it wasn't intended that way. the difference between 1st world and 3rd world is the difference between day and night.

and rich people never invented it to feel superior. do you know how much aid we send to 3rd world countries?

how did i not realize this?

 

[DOMS]

He's quite likely from China. He's also as likely to be living here in the US illegally. I first ran across him in a thread where I was bashing illegal Mexicans (my favorite hobby...chobby?...Chinese hobby?...but I digress), and he stuck up for the illegals rather passionately.

So he's living here illegally while talking smack about the west.

Mao and Stalin didn't need any religion to justify their slaughter of ~50 million people--the two biggest mass murderers in history.

So, aren't you from third world? Your name is Ravi. that is Hindu name. So I am asumming you are from India eventhough you are pretending to be a white man.

Dude, you made some decent points before. I didn't look at your posts as stupid but you just changed all that, from my perspective at least. This was the dumbest post ever. It doesn't matter what you call it, 3rd world or shit hole. The fact of the matter is that 1st world countries are better in every way. I don't see or hear of people risking their lives' to get into fucking Nigeria. We don't need to make up shit to feel superior, we are superior, thats a fact.

And your whole 1st world wouldn't exist if there was no third world, while a valid argument is completely fucking stupid and offers nothing resembling an original thought. Duality brings forth existence of many things, without dark there is no light, without man there is no woman, without evil there is no good etc. What'd you just finish freshman philosophy?

I almost spit Diet Pepsi all over my desk! I have never, ever, heard anyone put it like that before!

The closest was from Tony Blair. He was asked if he though that America was great, to which he responded that there is nothing more conclusive of a country's greatness than the number of people trying to get in and those trying to get out.

What the hell are you talking about? RAVI? I was born in Richland, WA. I'm as white as anyone on this board. I've lived for a couple of years in the Philippines so that is my experience with the 3rd world.

What do you care? You can do it with your baseless life.

Why is my life baseless? I believe in God.
I just don't need other humans telling me why, how and what I should do
to show that I believe in God.

If you truly believe in him and want to be a good person, that's all there is to it.

People like you really need to trip some shrooms or something.
Get a different perspective than the brain-washed typical everyday point of view.

What's wrong with me collecting evidence just from this thread?
Unless you are quite bi-polar, then there is no reason I can't take
the collective posts you have made in this thread and form an opinion about you.

And what does that mean, who is my God?

It doesn't matter who you think God is, or what some religion thinks God is, or what the man down the street thinks.
God is God. Maybe he has a face, maybe not.
But I have a personal relationship with whatever he is, and that is good enough for me.
I don't need the semantics or all these fictional works from people who died hundreds or thousands of years ago.

I wasn't saying the third world is better than the first world. I was just saying that in order to first world to become the first world, there has to be third world. If there is no third world, then there is only 'the world or rich world or poor world.' You already answered your question on your last paragraph.

You completely missed my point.

My point was that your post has no point...it was just a bunch of rhetoric that really went nowhere. Hence my 'freshman philosophy' statement at the end (which is where i learned about duality and thought i was a genius too...ah its interesting that the more i learn the more i understand that i don't know anything).

Not everyone born in the US is white race. You are an american born Indian pretending to be a white man. I am so surprised to see you insulting your own home country, India.

That's a lot like look at the only the 4th digits and saying that you know all of them.

Well then, based on the fact that I've only seen you in the form of text, you're obviously only a poor candidate for the Turning Test.

And what does that mean, who is my God?

I wasn't talking about the country itself. I was talking about the label called, 'first world and third world.' I hope you got my point.

Not only did DOMS refute your point literally...I refuted based on the fact that we don't need to make ourselves feel better...we are better, that in and of itself makes us (or at least me) feel great.

I'll clarify since you'll probably say something asinine which will make me hate you instead think of you as stupid.

We don't need to make up labels to feel better about ourselves. The rest of the world lets us know everyday how great we are. The fact that people risk their, and their family's, lives to get here is proof enough.
